Passing Object Variable as input parameter to an Execute SQL Task Query

I've encountered a new problem with an SSIS Pkg where I have a seq. of Execute SQL tasks. My question are:

1) In the First Execute SQL Task, I want to store a single row result of @.@.identity type into a User Variable User::LoadID of What type. ( I tried using DBNull Type or Object type which works, not with any other type, it but I can't proceed to step 2 )

2) Now I want to use this User::LoadID as input parameter of What type for the next task (I tried using Numeric, Long, DB_Numeric, Decimal, Double none of there work).

Please give me solutions for the above two..

@.@.IDENTITY returns an integer, so your variable type should be Int32. This may help - http://www.sqlis.com/58.aspx|||

Darren,

Thanks for your solution,

Still Execute SQL query task fails if I use Int32 type for the @.@.identity single row result Variable.

When I set it to dbnull it works however it's unable to use this Value as an input paraemter for the next Execute SQL task.

Moreover I want the solution for the step 2 as well|||

@.@.IDENTITY returns a numeric, not an integer. (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933167(sql.80).aspx)

Just cast it to an integer and all will be well.

select cast(@.@.IDENTITY as int) as 'Ident'|||

Thanks Phil,

It seems that both of your solution will work here. Returns numeric so we can use int32 variable for assigning the result. Came to know that when we use int32 variable as an input parameter to another Execute SQL task, we declare it Long type.

There is one more issue i couldn't resolve. There is a type mismatch when I use to map String Variable as input Parameter to a Varchar type in Execute SQL Task. As such Execute SQL task Fails.

Under Parameter Mapping

User:: StrVar Varchar 0

However When I directly assign the String value in place of the parameter it works.

Select SrcRowCount AS CntLoadID From LoadDetails Where Source = ? ( Replacing this value '32, 2323, 2343,23434' works)

Is there any work around for this?

That works for me, using OLE DB connection though. What type of connection are you using?

Hi Rafael,

I am using OLEDB connection.

When I create an expression: Left(sqlstatement)+@.[user::CntLoadID] + Right(sqlstatement), it works indeed. But it seems an alternate way.
